I finally finished my Mosaic Story camping quilt! I started cutting the 3″ on-point center squares (diamonds) in January to use in the blocks for my 54″ x 54″ camping quilt using the Mosaic Story Quilt pattern by Amy Friend at During Quiet Time (total of 49 blocks for the quilt top). I’ve wanted to make a camping quilt to keep since I made my first camping quilt in 2019, though truth be told, these days I enjoy glamping more than camping! See my three other camping quilts here, here, and here.

The fabric I used for the corners of the blocks and the outer borders is called Smoke Rust Stone in Grey. I purchased it from the Etsy shop Pink Chihuahua Fabric. Below is a screen shot of the fabric image in Soot where some of the words that relate to the outdoors can be more easily read. There are so many cool outdoorsy/travel-related expressions in this fabric, not all visible below. I can totally relate to: resfeber (noun, Swedish) the restless race of a traveler’s heart before a journey begins, when anxiety and anticipation are tangled together. After a cold winter, I absolutely love to apricate (verb) to bask in the warmth of the sun. How about perigrinate (verb) to travel or wander from place to place, fernweh (noun) an ache for distant places; an ache for travel, dendrophile (noun) one who loves the trees or the forest, or alpenglow (noun) the rosy light of a setting sun or rising sun seen on high mountains (this I have seen on the Sandias near Albuquerque, and it is so beautiful). My favorite definition on this fabric is coddiwomple (verb) to travel in a purposeful manner towards a vague destination.

I look forward to taking this quilt with me for an adventure soon!
